Each symphony explores different moods: joyful grandeur in E-flat major, tragic drama in G minor, and soaring power in the "Jupiter" Symphony.

Philippe Jordan, music director of the Vienna State Opera, is renowned for his interpretations of large-scale symphonic works. Especially in Bruckner's anniversary year, his conducting will transform the Austrian composer's music into a grand symphonic narrative, reflecting influences such as Wagner. Bruckner's Eighth Symphony, a work he called "Mysterium", promises to reveal some of its secrets under Jordan's baton.

Hilary Hahn (Violin), Cristian Măcelaru (Director), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Orchestra)
Three days after the premiere of Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, the Soviet Composers' Union debated whether the work was too modern, too old-fashioned, or too critical. However, the panel missed the grim satire used by Shostakovich. In contrast, Brahms' Violin Concerto, performed by Hilary Hahn, is a celebration of violin sound. Cristian Măcelaru conducts this program, marking his farewell as chief conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra.
